ThunderBall Films is successfully putting together the movie production of Escape from Paradise and has received a new LOI (Letter of Intent) from actress Bai Ling who starred with Richard Gere in the film Red Cross.

This includes a commitment from a CPA firm who does tax credit financing in Ireland, a possible location to film, as part of the package needed for investors – along with the CPA firm’s commitment to apply for and finance the tax credits if ThunderBall does shoot in Ireland and what portion of the budget they would provide.

Incompetence, Bribery, Terrorism and Singapore’s Reform Party

The Singapore Reform Party was founded by convicted terrorist, Baldev Naidu (imprisoned in the U.S.), and supposed hedge fund operator Kenneth Jeyaretnam.

The Reform Party is now imploding. (Baldev Naidu and Kenneth Jeyaretnam were first exposed on this website.)

Kenneth Jeyaretnam is the brother of Philip Jeyaretnam, the associate of Helen Yeo, the lady whose unsavory connections run from Myanmar to Afghanistan to Morocco. Helen Yeo’s husband, disgraced Singapore cabinet minister Yeo Cheow Tong, now works for James Tjahaja Riady who paid record $8.6 million in criminal fines and plead guilty to a felony charge in the U.S.

Reform Party Chairman Mr. Tan Tee Seng resigned yesterday. His resignation comes just a day after at least 20 members, including key Reform Party appointment holders and potential candidates, left the Party. More resignations are expected in the coming weeks.

Mr. Tan is the third chairperson to leave the Reform Party since Kenneth Jeyaretnam took control of the Party as Secretary-General in April 2009.

The Reform Party’s first chairperson, Ng Teck Siong, left the party in April 2009, criticizing Kenneth Jeyaretnam as “weak and infirm of purpose.”

On February 23rd Kenneth Jeyaretnam released a statement calculated to cover up an alleged bribe made by the Reform Party.

According to Jeyaretnam, at the last Reform Party meeting, several members refused to attend, because “they had witnessed, whilst being kept waiting, two prospective candidates give packets of money to one of the CEC,” one of the party’s Central Executive Committee.

Kenneth Jeyaretnam continued, “Subsequently the SG [Kenneth Jeyaretnam, himself] was made aware of the letter of complaint and spoke to the recipient who admitted to receiving $400 from the candidates.” The recipient of the alleged bribe was a Muslim member of the Reform Party, Mohd Affendy bin Abdul Rahim.

Even though Kenneth Jeyaretnam, head of the Reform Party “recommended that the Party deal with the complaint and answer the questions raised,” the party refused.

Obviously, Kenneth Jeyaretnam has lost the respect and control of his party.

“ITE” that mean “It The End”.The moment KJ seize power in RP he has already laid the ground work of destruction. The second fatal mistake he made, was to form a clique with the disinterested group within the Party’s echelons has spear headed by the recently convicted terrorist Baldev Naidu. My advise to him is to liquidate the Reform Party and call it all off!! Before he gives the PAP regime the “Hammer and Nail” to finally put the lip over the Jeyeratnam name.

The Reform Party is more than corrupt – it is dangerous. With the Jeyaretnam brothers links to terrorists and narcotraffic, it is a wonder that Singapore has not put them in ISD confinement. Perhaps Singapore is just waiting for the story to play out and then take care of these fellows.

No! Mr John-His passport has been compound by the authority for investigation in the Balbev Naidu cases.I will sell my property & finance KJ and made him the SG of Reform Party.This statement is very sensitive to LKY. Now he can’t flee to his native land-Englang.Just wait for the Jolly Man

Surely, all this information must be known to the PAP. Why hasn’t KJ been called out yet? If this happened to Chee Soon Juan, the knives, hatchets and knuckle-dusters will be out faster than you can shout “Where’s the money!”.

Terry:
Maybe Kenneth Jeyaretnam is being protected by his brother Philip Jeyaretnam. Apparently, according to one of our comments, Kenneth Jeyaretnam’s passport has been seized by the Singapore authorities in relation to the Baldav Naidu case.

No, Mr John, it will B out during the Election Nine days campaige. The PAP will blow him out by the last two-three day,to made the momentum swing back to them.All opposition will B kill.PAP will rule for another Fifty Donkey years,If U people are not careful.

In my opinion, both the Jeyaratnam boys have committed a crime, of aiding and abetting the terrorist, who is NOW sitting in prison in the US!
These are serious crimes, and I hope the Singapore govt does not let them get away, these Tamil Tigers buying ammo and weapons of mass destruction!

It doesn’t take much to blow up Singapore, and if let loose, who knows what KJ and his brother PJ will do to Singapore?
They are both corrupt and harbor a great deal of secrets, all not good for Singapore.

Watch out Kenneth! are are lots of PAP Ghost writer out to belittle u!
Dont fall for PAP trap when they enticed u to the Radin Mas! Because they r luring u away from yr GRC pact with SPP! Voters at the Radin Mass are all Phantom voters gerrymandered by PAP.
